Volumen Brutal (English: Brutal Volume) is the second studio album by Spanishmetal band Barón Rojo. It was produced by Chapa Discos and Barón Rojo and published by Chapa Discos in 1982.
Details
The album was recorded in 1981 at Kingsway Studios, owned by ex-Deep Purple's frontman Ian Gillan, in two weeks. This album was released in two versions: one with lyrics in Spanish and another sung in English. Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden is credited for helping the band with the translation. This led Barón Rojo to international success specially in the United Kingdom, where they appeared on the cover of music magazine Kerrang!. "Stand Up" was chosen as European single.
Volumen Brutal was ranked as the 17th Best Rock en Español Album Ever according to American magazine Al Borde.
Volumen Brutal has seen several CD re-issues over the years. In 1996, the band's original Spanish label, Chapa Discos, issued the English language version on compact disc, followed by the Spanish language version on Chapa Discos/BMG Spain in 1997. In 2005, Sony BMG Music Spain released both the Spanish and English version on one CD. Hear No Evil Recordings, a subsidiary of UK based label Cherry Red Records, followed with a re-issue of the English version in 2014. Also in 2014, Dutch based company Music on Vinyl produced a vinyl re-issue of Volumen Brutal.
